Critical point wetting
It is shown that in any two-phase mixture of fluids near their critical point, contact angles against any third phase become zero in that one of the critical phases completely w...
A General Theory of Heterophase Fluctuations and Pretransition Phenomena
The present paper is a generalization of a preceding note on the statistical theory of condensation phenomena. It is based on the idea that the macroscopic transition of a subst...
Phase Transitions
H-T and V-P curves for various types of phase transitions are shown. In second-order transitions a discontinuity in the curvature of the free energy occurs. It appears to follow...
Thermodynamic Properties of Binary Solid Solutions on the Basis of the Nearest Neighbor Approximation
An approximate method of computing the partition function of a binary solid solution is formulated. If the only constraints are on the mean energy and mean composition, it is sh...
<i>Introduction to Phase Transitions and Critical Phenomena</i>
This is a paperback edition of a distinguished book, originally published by Clarendon Press in 1971. It was then the first text on critical phenomena, a field that has enjoyed ...
